Abstract
Two-dimensional model equations, invariant under the symmetry operatio ns of an infinite horizontal plane, can undergo a cellular instability to ''quasipatterns'' of eight- or 12-fold orientational order. Two di fferent nonlinear selection mechanisms are discussed and related to re cent experiments.
